Runners hoping to secure a place in the 2027 Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon may want to keep a close eye on their inbox tomorrow.
The Belfast City Marathon organisers have confirmed that entries for the 2027 event will go on sale tomorow Friday, with runners now being encouraged to sign up to the official mailing list in order to gain “priority access” before the wider public rush begins.
According to the official Belfast City Marathon website, those who join the mailing list will receive early access to entries once registration opens. While organisers have not specified exactly how much earlier that access will be, it appears designed to give subscribers the best possible chance of getting through the door before places begin to disappear.
That could mean access a few hours before the public launch or potentially even earlier. The organisers have not clarified the exact window, but the message is fairly clear: if you want the best shot at getting into next year’s race, being on the mailing list is the safest option.
After the enormous demand seen for recent editions of the Belfast Marathon, it is not hard to see why.
The race has grown massively in popularity in recent years, with entries selling at a far quicker pace than many runners had become used to in the past. What was once something people casually entered after Christmas has now become one of those races where hesitation can leave runners staring at a “sold out” graphic while muttering darkly into a cup of tea.
For anyone planning to target the 2027 race, the advice is straightforward enough: sign up for the mailing list now, keep an eye on your emails tomorrow, and be ready to move quickly once the links land.
The 2027 Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon and Team Relay is expected to once again attract huge demand from runners across Ireland and beyond.
